That's in my 'to post' blog box.

They're similar to the somewhat larger tomatillos, which are so popular in Mexican cooking (especially for salsa), although originally from Asia.<br><br>Plant tomatillo seeds in late spring (after all risk of late frost is past), and they will thrive till the first killing frost of autumn (actually, the fruits still inside the husks will survive a mild frost). Their culture is like tomatoes, except minus the cages or stakes. If any of the fruit drop on the ground, however, the seeds will sprout voluntarily the following spring, whether you want them there or not. Don't say I didn't warn you!Kathiehttp://www.inolongerlikechocolates.comnoreply@blogger.com
